All the specs really look great, the only thing that I am a bit upset about is the price - $3500 seems high for the body only. I was expecting it to be a 20% increase from $2400 for the 5D2 to $2899 (max $3000) for the 5D3.

Let's hope that it's not $3500 body only!

Wouldn't be surprised in the slightest at a $3500 body only price. Especially after getting a taster of Canon's new pricing model with the 24-70II.

What is meant by: "Dual CF/SD Card Slots"? Both of each ? or CF+SD slot? Or not sure: maybe 2 x CF or 2 x SD?

One of each.

Oh I hate that crap. I really wanted 2 x CF. I just don't see the point of using 2 formats. I can understand it for peeps upgrading from a cam who have already SD's. Guess I'm turning back to the 1D X...

The yen is currently about 45-50% stronger than it was when the 5D2 launched. So $3.5K for body only is already a reduced margin for Canon compared to the 5D2 @ launch. And I have a feeling that this this camera will be a step up compared to the 5D2, comparable to what we saw with the 7D vs. 50D. Just need the frame rate confirmed (6.9fps?).
